Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Surrounded by two million acres of Medicine Bow National Forest, the remote valley sees pronghorn and deer grazing alongside horses.

The rooms
Private log cabins and lodge rooms feature moss rock fireplaces, cowhide rugs, and wraparound porches facing the sagebrush prairie.
The spa
French doors in the couples treatment rooms open straight onto the prairie, looking out toward the mountains.
The yoga studio
Sound baths and daily yoga sessions take place in a timber-walled log cabin studio with polished hardwood floors.
At the table
Weekly cookouts bring open-fire campfire dinners along the creek, and the lodge serves multi-course meals beneath antler chandeliers.
The Lodge & Spa at Brush Creek Ranch is an all-inclusive, family-friendly resort where landscape and legacy still define the rhythm of your stay.
How it began
The property originated as an 1884 homestead established by the Sterrett brothers, preserving its historic log architecture across the valley.
“Designers tastefully wove elements of Wyoming’s Wild West culture—without overdoing it—throughout the Lodge & Spa, which has several types of accommodations.”
